For easy installation, select an existing light with a wall
switch for replacement.
For best performance, mount the fixture about 8 ft. (2.4 m)
above the ground.
NOTE:
If fixture is mounted higher than
8 ft. (2.4 m), aiming the sensor down will reduce coverage
distance.
Wall Mount Eave Mount
For under eave installation, the sensor head must
be rotated as shown in the next two steps for proper
operation and to avoid the risk of electrical shock.
For eave mount only:
❒ Swing the sensor head towards the clamp screw
joint.

DualBrite® Timer
Light comes on half bright for selected time after dusk
(Off, 3 hr., 6 hr., until dawn). Selecting OFF disables
this feature. The motion sensing features will continue
to work as described in this manual. If motion is sensed,
the light turns on full bright for the ON-TIME (1, 5, or
20 minutes) then returns to dim mode.
❒ Then rotate the sensor head clockwise 180° so the
controls face down.

Lamp Modes
There are three lamp modes (light turn-on effects) available when motion is detected:
• NORMAL - Light instantly comes on.
• SOFT - Light starts dim and gradually increases to
full brightness. Light gradually dims to half-bright,
pauses, and then continues dimming to off when
motion is no longer detected and after selected ON-

❒ Remove the existing light fixture.
❒ Install the mounting strap as shown using two screws
that fit your junction box.
❒ The plastic hanger can be used to hold the fixture
while wiring. The small end of the plastic hanger
can be threaded through the hole in the center of
the cover plate. The small end then goes into one
of the slots on the mounting strap.

TEST AND ADJUSTMENT
❒ Turn on the circuit breaker and light switch.
NOTE: Sensor has a 1 1/2 minute warm up period
before it will detect motion. When first turned
on, wait 1 1/2 minutes.
NOTE: Meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines when
DualBrite® function is off and ON-TIME is 1 or 5 minutes
and when used with 120 W Max bulbs.
❒ Turn the RANGE control to the medium position
(halfway between MIN and MAX), DualBrite® to OFF,
and the ON-TIME control to the TEST position.
NOTE:
If fixture is mounted higher than 8 ft. (2.4 m), aiming
the sensor down will reduce coverage distance.
The detector is less sensitive to motion directly towards it.

Avoid aiming the control at:
• Objects that change temperature rapidly, such as
heating vents and air conditioners. These heat
sources could cause false triggering.
• Areas where pets or unwanted traffic may trigger
the control.
• Nearby large, light-colored objects reflecting light
may trigger the shut-off feature. Do not point other
